Lego League Competition

On Saturday, the 10th March, seven children from The Pearl Academy entered the First Lego League competition held in Sharjah. It was a fantastic experience for Khalifa, Tori, Faris and Kashvi from Year 4, and Gael, Aahil and Jessy from Year 5, who won an award for 'Best Programming'. Over 90 teams from all over the UAE entered the robotics competition, where each team had to depict a problem with the water journey in the UAE and present a solution, using Lego WeDo robotics kits. Our team realised that children were wasting a lot of water while brushing their teeth, so they designed a model consisting of a sensor that controls when the tap is turned on and off, as water is needed. Thank you to all Parents and Staff involved.
